Design management

This course introduces students to project management, taking into account the major issues at stake in corporate performance, and puts them in a position to manage key phases of the product design process.

This project-based teaching approach provides a detailed analysis of each phase of the design process, in the form of case studies. Students learn how to generate an idea (creativity, functional analysis) right through to product architecture.

• Draft initial specifications (innovative project)

• Draw up functional specifications (functional analysis, function characterization)

• Draw up functional product specifications (FAST and proposed solutions)

• Carry out a study of the principle solution chosen

• Write a simple calculation note

• Produce the technical documents needed to manufacture the functional prototype (limited here to 3D printing)

• Qualify the functional prototype, produced in 3D printing, by verifying the criteria, levels of function characterization

• Conduct a project review in the presence of the project leader

• Functional analysis (description)

• Technical communication and CAD

• Strength of materials
